Scruffy little goth kidz on skateboards in baggy Jeans and Linkin Park Hoodies maybe some peoples view on skateboard clothing but it's not quite the whole picture? Whilst it's hard to say if skateboarding influences fashion more than fashion influences skateboarding, one thing is for sure, the sport and extreme sports in general have had a profound effect on the clothes designs people wear. I remember speaking with Addict Clothing director years back and him telling me "yeah when we first started we used to buy T shirts and dye them the colours we wanted, it never entered our heads we could have just gone out and bought the colours direct". What many of these skate clothing companies lacked in relevant knowledge they made up for in enthusiasm and now we see Hoodies, Beanies / Caps, skate trainers and baggy or relaxed cut Jeans everywhere. | |||

| Jeans, again another mainstay garment but how skateboarding has changed the styles in only a few seasons, from straight cut legs to more relaxed cuts then massive baggy Jeans and now we see relaxed cut but getting much narrower but whilst skateboarders like the baggy Jeans for better movement, BMX riders have always preferred the narrower cuts claiming they don't get caught in their chains. Denim has also come along way though now the fashion trend is really going back on it's self and quality is becoming the new design. Antique Japanese denim made on 1940's looms is all the rage, selvage is in, in a big way and wash is relevant everything from Dark Indigo's to blasted and stonewashed denims, antique, distressed and dirty finishes are all about at the same time, and everybody is looking for that something different. Skateboard clothing is not about conformity. Flaps on pocket AKA Ambiguous, patches or holes and the back pocket is where it's all happening, Zoo York doing internal embroidery that shows through with age, Dope embroideries, Addict camo inserts. What more can they do with Jeans? Are there limits? Since when has riding a skateboard had limits? Never, right? So with skateboard clothes it has to be the same, now Dope have added changecatcher pockets and both Lord and Dope included hidden pockets. Stash or hidden pockets as Element bring them out on the majority of the Hoodies. | |||

What does the future hold? It's hard to say, many skateboarding clothing companies continue to appear and some decline, a few have grown, Element Clothing has been bought out by the massive surfwear company Billabong and continues to produce skateboard clothing but has gained the experience of Billabong and the massive quality jump for them has proven it's self in sales alone. On a design front whilst it is still skateboard clothing it does have that softer edge that surfwear has. In the UK we have Addict and Dope Clothing which have grown in both size and experience and will continue to influence the clothing scene and push the boundaries of garment technology. One thing is for sure, it ain't finished yet and if you want to be up with what's coming round the corner keep watching The Urban Shop coz that's what we're all about ! | |||
